99 Sportage Starting Problem

Hi for some reason my car shuts off after a couple of days. I remove the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel filter and remove the gas that's inside and install again the car turns up again. I do that every time it happens. Can anybody help me. Thanks

not sure if it helps but does car crank but wont start? try disconnecting the battery cable, the positive side. wait a good five minutes. reconnect see if it starts. so far this is the dilemna i have, some of the posts here suggest the wire connectors to the mass air flow sensor, the idle air control valve, and throttle position sensor may sending false codes to the computer. i have yet to try this.
